<p>A toolbox is a widget that displays a column of tabs one above
the other, with the current item displayed below the current tab.
Every tab has an index position within the column of tabs. A tab's
item is a <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>.</p>
<p>Each item has an <a href="qtoolbox.html#itemText">itemText</a>(), an optional <a href="qtoolbox.html#itemIcon">itemIcon</a>(), an optional <a href="qtoolbox.html#itemToolTip">itemToolTip</a>(), and a <a href="qtoolbox.html#widget">widget</a>(). The item's attributes can be
changed with <a href="qtoolbox.html#setItemText">setItemText</a>(),
<a href="qtoolbox.html#setItemIcon">setItemIcon</a>(), and <a href="qtoolbox.html#setItemToolTip">setItemToolTip</a>(). Each item can
be enabled or disabled individually with <a href="qtoolbox.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled</a>().</p>
<p>Items are added using <a href="qtoolbox.html#addItem">addItem</a>(), or inserted at particular
positions using <a href="qtoolbox.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>(). The total number of
items is given by <a href="qtoolbox.html#count-prop">count</a>().
Items can be deleted with delete, or removed from the toolbox with
<a href="qtoolbox.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>(). Combining
<a href="qtoolbox.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>() and <a href="qtoolbox.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>() allows you to move
items to different positions.</p>
<p>The index of the current item widget is returned by <a href="qtoolbox.html#currentIndex-prop">currentIndex</a>(), and set with
<a href="qtoolbox.html#currentIndex-prop">setCurrentIndex</a>().
The index of a particular item can be found using <a href="qtoolbox.html#indexOf">indexOf</a>(), and the item at a given
index is returned by <a class="compat" href="qtoolbox-qt3.html#item">item</a>().</p>
<p>The <a href="qtoolbox.html#currentChanged">currentChanged</a>()
signal is emitted when the current item is changed.</p>
